The Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice put tremendous thought and intentionality into designing next year’s Education Pass. The most exciting change for 2026 is a lower price for you. Smaller agencies will save $1,000 compared to 2025 and mid-size and larger agencies save $500! We are all looking for ways to reduce ED visits, cost of care, and hospitalizations – meaning positive outcomes for our patients while performing at our best for HH-VBP scoring. One of the easiest ways to do this is by ensuring patients that would benefit from a flu shot, receive a flu shot. The Council Corner is the member-voted name for your new, online member-to-member discussion forum. It’s a message board, a discussion space, an extension of our Help Desk, a networking platform, and the future of member-to-member digital interactions that will replace the Listserv. Lend Your Voice to Protect Medicare Home Health for Ohioans – Take action by August 29 – Template provided. Home and community-based care is a proven solution to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. The new CMS proposed rule includes policies that would reduce payments to home health agencies nationally by over $1 billion dollars in 2026. No fluff – just answers. In response to a surge of suspicious communications sent to members recently, Katie Eisel, Payer Relations Director at OCHN, has written up a detailed safety toolkit to help everyone keep their agency and patient data safe and secure.
